What Am I Made Of?
(Tiny Library Records)
★★★★
INTROSPECTIVE and subdued, the debut album from Leeds-based singer-songwriter Niall Summerton is a real treat.
Apparently his childhood hero was Nick Drake, which makes sense when you hear the acoustic guitar sounds here. I also hear echoes of other melancholic folky artists such as Elliott Smith and The Clientele.
